Oh Sam. You aren’t overly sensitive. Years of microaggressions, man. Wears anyone down. Poke, poke, poke. If we ever met, I’d just have to look at you. And not because I think you’re an oddity, but because sometimes when I see great beauty, I just have to take a minute to process it x

I think it’s maybe because regardless how small or dumb the micro-aggression, it’s all you have at that very moment to focus on, and it sort of pops the water balloon of every small stored up frustration.

I try explaining to people I’m not massively hurt by their small mistake, I’m just tired at the fuckin world, but it’s hit or miss on being understood.

The thing that is now being discussed about micro-aggressions (or simply the effect of not being a part of the dominant privilege and having to constantly be on the alert for danger) is how they all connect together to create the effect of major trauma with the resultant PTSD. Queers of all descriptions are vulnerable to this. We need to care very good care of ourselves and each other. xxx
